Hackney’s experimental cargo bike hire scheme
Some unusual looking bikes have come to Hackney and Shoreditch recently - offering an alternative to hiring a small van or car to move stuff around the area.

Makes sense , I'd prefer someone else to do the cycling tbf , so I can see folk hiring these and hiring themselves out for moving stuff.Ian Visits blog posted this week ....

Tell you what'd be a very interesting bit of work to complement the ww2 story would be people trying to avoid conscription in ww1, there's a ton of info in the hackney gazette of the time about people in front of the tribunal

Yes that would be great.

Some good work on that done by people in Hornsey iirc.

There was something done around that to mark the centenary of WWI, and provide a counter to the mainstream coverage, including (if I remember correctly) signs put up on lamp-posts to mark the residences of conscientious objectors/conscription refusers.

Can't remember how widespread it was, or who organised it, but there was certainly one in my road in Tottenham.

I've only seen c.o. signs in Highgate, the Haringey bit. The thing about the people I'm thinking of is they weren't conscientious objectors, they just didn't want to go and tried a variety of methods to avoid / evade it. Looked briefly at this in 2013/14 and can't recall now much more than I've said. Might have a look myself if as I suspect I find myself at a loose end at work

the couple of ones I remember seemed to be conscientious objectors. Can't fully recall the exact wording, but there seemed to have been a group of political anti war refusers in Tottenham in WW1.

Another interesting area is the effect of air raids, there are some very sad stories in the gazette about people whose nerves were shattered by the ww1 raids and killed themselves

It does have an interesting history actually. It's been re-made a few times but the original film showing at the cinema in the photograph is a 'lost' version with no known copies in existence.

Cheri-Bibi is a lost 1913 silent French serial based on the novel by the same name by Gaston Leroux, starring Raoul Navarre as Maxime and Cheri-Bibi and Josette Andriot as Cecily, Maxime's wife and Chri-Bibi's one true love. It is the story of a blacksmith's apprentice who's convicted unjustly...

You can rule out Shoreditch park, London Fields, hackney downs, Victoria park, clissold park I reckon. Has anyone looked in the hackney gazette? Might also be worth looking in the standard.Hackney against the Vietnam War
